Hi folks

Now I know there will be like hundreds of posts on here about questions I want to ask but possibly over several different threads etc, but I'm after trying to find out what's the best option for me to save some money for.

My V2 WRX could do with a re-map but I know that I can't re-map the ecu the early classics have (well so I have read on here). So my question is:

Do I buy an ecu that will fit my classic (a later ecu) that's already been mapped to accompany the mods I have done already or do I have to start from scratch?

I'm not sure what's on offer with different maps/ecus/boards etc as I'm not technically minded!

All help and information is appreciated and what sort of costs I maybe looking at would help.

Thank you in advance

This is the sort of thing I need advice on. I heard there's more than 1 board out there to chose from but not sure which would be best and cost effective.

Thank you

Yes mate, just a daily driver that goes out about twice a week lol
Driven like its being driven by an old fart with a twitchy right foot on occasions

Will have a look at the links, thank you

That's excellent news Glenn. I was thinking I might have to give you some money back.

Nahh your alright mate it all came good in the end

Was having a quick look through and stumbled across Andy Forrest doing the ECL board for £640 supplied fitted and custom mapped. Is this a good price does anyone know?

Good price because he is a highly respected mapper. Simon from jolly green monster also has very good reviews and comes in at £575(i think) and Duncan from race dynamix also has a lot of good things said about him at £525 and there are many more mappers out there who provide this service. I think the ESL website has a list of mappers that they recommend.Obviously cheaper doesn't always mean better and you should do research on any mapper you choose.
Please keep us posted to how you get on

I have the ESl and my car goes very well.

Aye, it's a fair price IMO. The drive home would be much more fun than the drive up to Andy's though.

Andy is usually booked up 6-8 weeks in advance mind.

If so, defo get that version!

I thought the Motorsport package was already available,giving AL,LC and Flat Foot shift. For an extra £120 I think I will be adding this

iTrader: (29)

Not available yet for PH1(Phase 1) cars, IIRC.

PH1 is 92-96 mate.

iTrader: (9)

Sure it won't be long before phase 1 is out
